Police in Boston are investigating the armed robberies of two Roxbury stores just hours apart Tuesday.
On Hancock Street, a man walked into a store at 3:30 p.m. with a red bag, pulled out a gun and pointed it at the store manager. He took nearly $3,000 from the register and ran off.

Then, at 5:40 p.m., an armed man robbed a store on nearby Dudley Street. He waited to be buzzed in, and for other customers to leave, before walking up and pointing a gun at a worker.
The robber made off with about $300.
The manager of the Hancock Street store believes the same person is responsible for both incidents.
Boston police are investigating the two robberies as separate cases.
